    The Creepy Brit Who's Destroying The Honorable Craft Of Celebrity Journalism

    OK! is the celebrity magazine that is the most willingly manipulated by celebrity flacks, which is really saying something. So it's perfectly appropriate that the magazine just promoted sleazy former celebrity uberflack Rob Shuter to its executive editor position. That's because Shuter is skilled at doing the two things that OK! is most famous for: lying on behalf of celebrities, and losing other people's money. Even he, the great fabulist, couldn't write a more sickening script than this. More »

    John Mayer: Not That Bad?

    Nick Denton to tips@gawker.com, Subject: John Mayer, How about a herogram? The guy's pretty talented musician. Seems to be able to handle fame pretty well. Deals with paps. And still seems normal! Okay, and he's hot too, but that wasn't the reason. Anyone a fan?

    No, Nick. I'm not a John Mayer fan. But I will say that John Mayer is unfairly hated on. More »

    Curse Of The Babe

    Does having a famous hot chick for a girlfriend make you totally suck at sports? This "Curse of the Babe" theory is being tossed around today by sports columnists, angry fans, and people who care about football only in the sense that it involves celebrities (that would be most Gawker readers). Tom Brady dates slobberlicious super model Gisele Bundchen. And the Post even reported they were sexing it up with sexy sex the week before the game! Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo went on a vacation with Jessica Simpson before his playoff game; he lost, of course. Are celebrity girls really cursed? Or is there a deeper psychological mechanism at work? We know the answer, which we will tell you now. More »

    Jessica Simpson Skulks Out Of John Mayer's Building

    They started dating last summer, and broke up this May. And now we hear that residents of John Mayer's building were treated to the sight of Jessica Simpson taking a morning ride of shame down the elevator this weekend. Whoa! Is this John Mayer's I'm-turning-30-next-month freak-out? Is this Jessica Simpson's latest manifestation of self-hatred? Is she going to get all chunky and brunette again? Why won't someone keep them from rekindling this terribly annoying liaison?

    Will New Metrics Cause Lengthier Paris Hilton Sex Tape Stories?

    The Associated Press reports that the Nielsen measurement service will change the way it tracks online viewing habits.
    Although Nielsen already measures average time spent and average number of sessions of each visitor to a site, it will start reporting total time spent and sessions for all visitors to give advertisers, investors and analysts a broader picture of what sites are most popular.
    There are several interesting implications in this decision. More »

    Irresponsible Rumormongering: Everything 'OK' With Rob Shuter?

    It's the day before Thanksgiving, so we're damned if we're going to bother to do, you know, any real reporting on this one, but a well-placed source tells us that former Jessica Simpson flack Rob Shuter "has been consulting for [marginally less sophisticated InTouch celeb weekly] OK!." We've no idea if the rumor is true, but the current issue includes the following item:
    It's been a year since Jessica Simpson's split from ex-husband Nick Lachey, and the 26-year-old doesn't seem to be reveling in her singledom. She's been avoiding the party scene. According to several reports, it's because the singer is depressed over her current life status. Her latest album didn't make much of a dent on the pop scene, and her love life has stalled. Jessica also doesn't have a lot of close friends. The short list includes her wardrobe and hair stylists Jessica Paster and Ken Paves, her sister Ashlee and her pet pooch Daisy. "Nothing is lifting her spirits," a source tells OK!..
    so, uh, not unlikely. Confirm or deny here. More »
